Summary

We begin our study of the Book of Acts by exploring Luke's prologue in Acts 1:1-3 as an introduction, followed by a high-level overview of what the rest of the book holds. Join us as we examine God's model for the church and learn the incredible history of how Christianity took root and spread across the world.

Exciting times here, Athe. We just finished the Gospel of John on Wednesday night,

0:04.3

which completes the four Gospels, which is kind of a big monumental moment here for Athe Creek.

0:10.1

But I'm so excited, we're starting a brand new book right now. Are you guys ready for the Book of Acts?

0:15.1

Yes, you're going to love it. I love the Book of Acts. Let's get to it. Acts chapter 1. Would you turn there?

0:23.1

What should the Church of Jesus Christ look like? And when you think about it, how different churches are one from the

0:29.7

other. Where does all that, you know, tradition, policy, behavior, attire, buildings. Where does all that come from?

0:41.2

You know, are you a real, I've been told by people, Brett, you're not a real church. I'm like,

why? Because you don't have a pulpit. Do I need a pulpit? There's a real church, well,

1:24.4

where do we get what we're supposed to? Are you supposed to just sit quietly in a seat

1:29.9

and take in teaching at a church? Or are you supposed to be like this? This is a very popular

This is real footage from a church service.

1:52.3
